COURSE OVERVIEW

MODULE 1: The fundamentals of High Performing Shoulders

Lecture:

• Tim will present the current evidence around injury rates and look at the demands the modern strength and conditioning environment and coaching practices place on the shoulder.

• You'll also understand the philosophy and principles behind Dynamic Shoulder Conditioning.

Coaches Lab:​

• Case study - The CrossFit Open Workout 21.1

​

MODULE 2: The Kinematics of High Performing Shoulders

Lecture:

• You'll learn about how the static and dynamic stabilisation systems work together to facilitate such large range of motion at the shoulder.

• You'll also understand why the dynamic stabilisers are so important in laying the foundations for the expression of strength, speed and power through the upper limb.

Coaches Lab:​

• Functional Anatomy Session 1 - Static stability and the musculature affecting scapulothoracic motion.

MODULE 3: The Kinetics of High Performing Shoulders

Lecture:

• You'll learn the principles of the two primary force couples, enabling you to simplify the complexity of the shoulder and create targeted training interventions that improve performance.

• We'll look at the issues and potential contributors to sub-optimal movement of the shoulder.

Coaches Lab:​

• Functional Anatomy Session 2 - Force couples and the consequences of sub-optimal movement.

​

MODULE 4: Screening, Assessing + Analysing High Performing Shoulders

Lecture:

• This will be a blended practical and theory session designed to give coaches the tools to conduct movement assessments for the shoulder and improve their ability to identity sub-optimal patterns.

• Tim will also share eight sub-optimal movement archetypes that are commonly seen in shoulder movement assessments and provide an overview of the training strategies that might be required to correct them.

Coaches Lab:​

• Case Study Analysis - real world shoulder screening examples and opportunity for coaches to be screened and screen each other.

MODULE 5: The Kinetic Chain + High Performing Shoulders

Lecture:

• You'll gain a greater understanding of the kinetic chain principles including the fascial system and breathing mechanics.

• Tim will also discuss motor behaviour and why you need to create a training environment for the shoulder that challenges movement options and appropriate loads.

Coaches Lab:​

• Practical session - alongside the other coaches, you'll go through a range of drills, exercises and movements that will explore the kinetic chain’s influence on upper body performance.

​

MODULE 6: Principles for application: Dynamics

Lecture:

• You'll coaches will learn why the integration of range of motion, neuromuscular control and kinetic chain integration is so important in creating strong, stable foundations.

MODULE 7: Principles for application: Conditioning

• To build on the foundations created through the Dynamics phase, you need to apply progressive overload in a way that scales stability, strength, speed and power. In this module, we'll look at principles for application, scaling dynamic stability and the rate of force development.

Coaches Lab:​

• During this session, we'll be discussing both the Dynamics and Conditioning modules.

​

MODULE 8: Strategic Programming

Lecture:

• You'll understand the principles of programme development and exercise selection, as well as how to use the Dynamic Shoulder Conditioning Framework. 

Coaches Lab:​

• In the final coaches lab, we'll have an overview of the course and discuss any questions you may have.
